About Apache Pizza
Discover the story behind Ireland's most authentic wood-fired pizza experience
Our Story
Apache Pizza was born from a simple passion: creating authentic, wood-fired pizza that brings people together. Founded in the heart of Ireland, we began our journey with a vision to serve the finest quality pizza using traditional methods and the freshest ingredients.
What started as a small family business has grown into a beloved brand across Ireland, but our commitment to quality and authenticity remains unchanged. Every pizza we serve is crafted with the same dedication and attention to detail that defined our very first day.
Our wood-fired ovens, imported from Italy, burn at temperatures exceeding 900°F, creating the perfect crispy yet chewy crust that has become our signature. We source our ingredients locally whenever possible, supporting Irish farmers and ensuring the freshest flavors in every bite.
